Application filed October 11, 1912.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE IV. PARME'IER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sheridan, in the county of Sheridan, State of WVyoming, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cinch-Rings; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the in vention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to cinch rings of that general class described in U. S. Letters Patent 1,035,725, issued to me on Aug. 13th, 1912, and has for an object to improve my former cinch ring by so constructing the ring as to prevent the ring from turning, and to reduce to a minimum the objectionable play produced in the front and back cinch riggings of the saddle when equipped with said former cinch ring.

With the above objects in view the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combination of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, it being understood that various modifications may be made in the minor details of construction within the scope of the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification :-Figure 1 is a side elevation of a saddle equipped with my improved cinch ring. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the cinch ring.

Referring now to the drawing in which like characters of reference designate similar parts, 10 designates a saddle, 11 the front cinch rigging, 12 the back cinch rigging, and 13 the cinch strap, these parts being of the usual and well known kind.

The cinch ring 14: comprising the subjectmatter of this invention is shown to have an approximately straight side 15 and an approximately semi-circular side 16 merging terminally with the straight side. Integral with the semi-circular side is formed a flat plate 17 which is equipped terminally with oppositely disposed curved fingers 18 and 19 arranged in continuation with each other and disposed in close proximity to and concentric with the semi-circular side 16 of the ring, both fingers being terminally connected to the said semi-circular side as Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 11, 1916.

Serial No. 725,277.

shown at 20, with resultant arcuate spaces 21 and 22 within which the front and back cinch riggings 11 and 12 may be engaged respectively, the spaces being of such size as to snugly receive these riggings and positively prevent the ring turning thereon, or having more play than is necessary to facilitate the passage of these riggings nicely through the spaces.

F or dividing the ring into compartments into which the cinch strap 13 may be selectively engaged as and for the purpose described in my former above designated patent, a pair of fingers 23 and 245 are formed integral with the plate 17 and are terminally connected to the fiat side 15 of the ring, with a resultant space 25 between the fingers, and other spaces 26 and 27 outside of the fingers, for the reception of the cinch strap.

An aperture 17 is formed in the ring be tween the ends of the spaces 21 and 22, and by means of this aperture the ring may be secured to the saddle.

What is claimed, is

In combination with a saddle having skirts secured to the sides thereof, a cinch ring having an approximately straight side and an approximately semi-circular side merging into the straight side, a flat plate formed integral with the semi-circular side, the flat plate portion being provided with diagonally disposed arcuate slots and a plurality of cinch accommodating compartments arranged below said slots, supporting straps secured in the said arcuate slots, the said slots being slightly larger than the said straps, and a cinch strap mounted in the center one of said compartments and adapted to be shifted forwardly and rearwardly therein, the said compartments being of the same width as the cinch strap and said ring being provided with an aperture adapted to receive a fastening to secure the ring to the saddle.

In testimony whereof, I aifix my signature, in the presence of two Witnesses.

GEORGE W. PARMETER.
